Band to Join, Bass Guitar, Electronic Music, Flute, Other Percussion, Saxophone, Trombone, Trumpet, Violin, Vocalist.ABOUT
I'm 43 have young son and full time job that's kept me out of music for some years, before that I lived in Spain and made a record with me sining and playing guitar that I put on spotify. Years before that I was in an electronic rock band playing drums and programing beats and bleeps that played over the top.
I'm looking to get back into music at least one night a week or fornight. Happy to collaborate

Influences
I grew up with Michael Jackson, MC Hammer and my Dad's Blues, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly tapes. I learned the chords of every Nirvana song for my teenage band and started writing songs. When my parents went away I raided my Dad's vinyls and got into Led Zep, Classic Rock and 60's and 70's Soul. At Uni I got into House, Big-Beat and Techno whilst trying to meld indie-rock with electronica in a Cooper Temple Cause, Primal Scram, Super Furry Animals way but with a bit more Underworld.
I like on old school Hip-Hop, and ambient stuff like DJ Shadow and RJD2.
In France I got into Django and Jacques Brel. In Spain I went mad for Flamenco but can't play it for sh*t. I can pull off an ok Rumba.
From America Latina I got into all sorts. I took a year of Djembe lessons with a traditional teacher from Mali.
There's not much I dislike
It's gotta make people go- huh?!? and/or dance their arses off.
